So Piranha Bytes is nearly bankrupt and still working on the mysterious Gigabyte Gothic 3 Patch? JoWooD made real good money with Gothic 3 (according to their own press releases) and now dumps the development team that safed their ass (JoWooD was always in money troubles over the years, without Gothic 2 and Aquanox they would've been vanquished). That's really frustrating.

So we probably will see "Gothic 4" from unknown east-europe dev team and "The game that should've been Gothic 4" from PB then? They're still fighting about the rights, so maybe one of them will have to dump the Gothic brand?
